What were the two gods the Albigensians believed in?

• A. God of Light and God of Darkness
• B. Creator and Destroyer
• C. Good God and Bad God
• D. Father and Son

Answer: (C)

This item centers on the Cathars’ two-pronged, dualistic view of divinity. They believed two opposed powers govern existence: a Good God associated with spirit and salvation, and a Bad God who created the material world and stands for evil. The phrase Good God and Bad God captures this explicit pairing and aligns with how historians describe their beliefs. The other options don’t match their terminology or focus—Creator and Destroyer is a generic dualism, Father and Son echoes Christian Trinity, and God of Light and God of Darkness is a related idea but not the standard Cathar formulation.
